CravenSpeed Oil dipstick to long
Hey All, Happy thanksgiving. My new CravenSpeed Dipstick arrived today but when I checked it against the stock dipstick, it is a bit more than 1/4" longer than stock. Thus if I check the oil, it appears overfilled. For the price, I thought that it would be a direct replacement but without an accurate measure, it's not worth the money. I contacted the manufacturer and the business where I purchased it to get their input. Of cause they are closed today so i'll have to see what they say on Monday. In the meantime, I was wondering if any of you purchased the CravenSpeed dipstick for a 2005 Mini Copper S and if yours was the correct size. Thanks

Did you check to see if you received the correct one? Go to http://www.cravenspeed.com/mini-dipstick/ and compare yours with the picture on their site

The price makes sense to me, as a small business person. It's a niche market and volume is low. You could always start making and selling them yourself if you have a desire to do that. :-)

I should add, that if you can rent an office and workshop, do the R&D for the design, pay for the manufacturing, and take your time out to ship them to all of us without profit, we would be (somewhat) grateful for you kind donation to the MINI Community, but you won't be in business very long. :-)
